Niagara County IL-042-18

Oct 20, 2018 Local Legislation, Politics

The Niagara County Legislature passed (another) resolution in support of gun rights this week, IL-042-18, specifically opposing the implementation of any sort of Firearms Owner ID (FOID) card and/or firearm owners insurance requirement.

I have seen mention of this floating around the internet recently, but not by either Governor Cuomo or any other elected official so I don’t know where this idea is coming from.
